HEADING INTO THE NEW YEAR

Jo Loecher

John Mascali

J.P. McDermott

Like many of you, I am looking forward to the start of the New Year. It allows me to reflect back and savor the accomplishments and joys of the past 12 months, but also to look ahead to new challenges and opportunities.

Stewart Proctor

Susan Ritner

Staying healthy and fit has never been more important, but is often a challenge for many of us. All ages can benefit from eating nutritious foods, regular exercise, and engaging in activities that help you learn something new, further develop a skill or talent and/or provide the chance to do something fun or worthwhile with others.

Recreation Services

A few of my New Year plans include getting back into biking (with my daughter’s company and support), walking through the neighborhood after dinner with my husband, and keeping that early morning date with the treadmill more regularly.

Christine Mabry, Program Supervisor . . . . . 314-3475

As 2010 approaches, I encourage you to look through this Winter Activity Guide and see if there is a class, special event or excursion that catches your eye. There are plenty of options, especially for exercise and physical activity, that will help both adults and children stay healthy and fit!

Instructor John DeMartini is USPTA certified and has been a teaching pro for over 20 years, formerly at Stanford University. Class sizes and/or levels may be changed due to insufficient enrollment. Students can transfer to a different class upon instructor’s approval and if space is available. The instructor reserves the right to change student’s class level if necessary. Make-ups will be given on those occasions when inclement weather requires that a class be cancelled. See instructor at the next scheduled class meeting for make-up date.
